Shimmer Forest

"Come to play with you!" Yuan Gungun's body was extraordinarily soft, and there was a slight itchiness when rubbed against it, which made Wu Hao laugh out loud: "It's only been a few days since I saw you, so don't hug her so tightly!"

"Huh? But, but..." Yuan Gungun anxiously wanted to express something, but didn't know how to speak. When he was flustered, he accidentally saw the umbrella in Su Jin's hand, and his attention was immediately diverted by it: " What is that shiny thing?"

"This, it's an umbrella." Su Jin was reminded by it, and then remembered the purpose here, so she smiled and handed the umbrella to it: "It's for you."

"Huh? Really?" Even the dark Shadow Chaser can vaguely see the pink color on his cheeks due to being too excited at this time: "Such a beautiful thing, you can really give it to me ?"

"Of course." The smile on Su Jin's face deepened: "Open it and have a look."

"En... Open it... Open it..." Yuan Gungun took the umbrella and studied it carefully. After searching for a long time, he finally found a way to open it, so he carefully, slowly and explored to open the umbrella.

What appeared in front of my eyes was a small night sky covered with stardust.Those jewel-like silver stars were scattered in the dense darkness, shimmering slightly.

Ying Zhui opened his eyes wide, staring blankly at the small piece of night sky, speechless in shock.Those small, fragmented rays of light shone in everyone's eyes, showing the most beautiful appearance in the dark.

Along with the flickering lights, there was also Shadow Chasing's trembling, small, repeating voice.

so beautiful.so beautiful.

"Yuan Gun Gun, come out and play with us with that umbrella in the future." Su Jin squatted down and stared at it with his chin in his hand, his voice was very gentle.

"Eh?" Ying Zhui's bright eyes lit up with a slight fire, which was soon covered by the haze of disappointment: "I, I can't touch the light..."

"It doesn't matter, the Lin powder coated with monsters will absorb the light that shines on the body."

"Really?" Just as he was about to express his joy on his face, it became hesitant as if remembering something bad: "But, but, I'm still afraid..."

"If you don't absorb the light, the starry sky on the umbrella will disappear." Su Jin tilted his head, pretending to be thinking: "Is it okay?"

"No, no!" He clenched the handle of the umbrella almost subconsciously, his round eyes were extremely determined.

"Then, in order to keep the stars on the umbrella bright, let's start at night and get in touch with the light outside."

"I, I..." Although he really wanted to answer happily, the fear in his heart still made him struggle.

"Shadow Chasing, look at this umbrella." Su Jin walked into the umbrella, stood side by side with it under the umbrella, pointed at the starry sky that had merged with the black, his bright eyes were full of tenderness: "I still feel Is it just something scary?"

Looking up the umbrella along his fingers, the twinkling stars make people extra calm.It seems to have returned to the night when I accidentally walked into the wild a long time ago.The wind blows gently on the cheeks, and the lush straw rolls in the breeze; the moonlight is dense, the stars are low, and the world looks so dreamy and clear.The sound of leaves, the sound of cicadas, and the sound of the wind are intertwined to create a silence that is different from silence.

"No." Returning to the dark cave, it stared at the twinkling stars without any hesitation or trembling: "It's not scary at all."

"Then—come out and play with us before the light of that umbrella disappears." Su Jin raised her little finger and smiled brightly at Ying Zhui: "It's an agreement."

"En!" Yuan Gungun hooked his little finger and nodded vigorously: "I will look for you, I will."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is no more melancholy and sadness in this parting, and Yingchai no longer looks so lonely when seeing off.Wu Hao was still as noisy as ever, pestering Su Jin with questions.

"That thing turned out to be the lin powder of insects! I heard people say that if you eat the lin powder of butterflies, you will become dumb."

"It would be great if it was possible."

"Cut! It turns out that fluorescent powder has the effect of absorbing light, so will it be able to absorb light after I eat it?"

"How is it possible, phosphors don't have that effect."

"Hey?" Wu Hao seemed to know some big news, his face was full of disbelief: "Then why did you say that?"

"Hmm..." Su Jin frowned and thought carefully for a while, as if trying to find the appropriate words in his own vocabulary: "This should be a psychological hint... right?"

"What? Psychological hint?"

"Shadow Chasing is not incapable of contact with light, but it has always lived in the dark, so it is afraid of the light that it has never experienced before." Boring kicking the stones on the ground, Su Jin replied casually and carelessly: "I told it like this, yes I just want it to have the courage to get out of that cave."

"Oh, I didn't expect a ruthless nerd to be so gentle?" Pretending to be surprised, Wu Hao laughed at the side and said, "If only he could be so gentle to me."

"Impossible." Glaring at him, Su Jin answered firmly.

"Don't answer so fast, it's very hurtful." He pouted dissatisfiedly, Wu Hao looked around, and then remembered what was wrong: "Hey? Don't you want to see us off this time?"

"Well, because I walked by it once, I know the way."

"Why can I remember it once I walked by it? And where is the road? What's different around you? Isn't it all dark?"

"...You have so many questions, it's so noisy."

"What, you are really treacherous, I also want to learn to recognize the way, and I want to play with Yuan Gun Gun anytime!"

"Who made you a fool."

"I'm not stupid, you must be playing some tricks! I'm not reconciled, why can you see it!"

"If you have to say..." Su Jin really thought about it for a while, and then smiled: "Probably heredity."

Slightly raised arc, sly, mature, with a hint of pride.Wu Hao lost his mind.

"Cut." Eagerly trying to hide the sudden panic, he racked his brains to change the subject: "That's right, that's right, I remember, Yuan Gun Gun said that it would hurt when the moonlight shines on it... ..."

"Of course it will hurt." Not caring about his sudden panic, Su Jin looked into the distance in a daze, and whispered softly with the breeze, slowly fluttering: "Because that is transformation."

"Metamorphosis?"

"Light and shadow are interdependent. Only under the light can Shadow Chase gradually transform." Su Jin took out the old book from his backpack and waved it in front of him like a show: "The book is so written."

The moonlight fell gently, outlining Su Jin's gentle outline.He lifted the book high and strode in the forest, his soft short hair swaying with the breeze, like young grass in the field.He turned his head and looked at Wu Hao who was standing there, smiling in the twilight, dreamy and far away

"When it transforms, I can record its appearance and draw it into this book."

At that moment, Wu Hao suddenly understood that the Su family cherished and protected this ancient book for generations not only because it recorded countless figures of monsters.

It is also because it is an important memory that records the time when humans and demons get along.
